But I thought that, the Blood Parrot was Gold Sevrum and Red Peacock.. ? Or have been wrong all these years?
Blood parrots are the hybrid offspring of the gold severum and the Red Devil. The female can have "good" eggs but it is very rare that you will have a male that is fertile. You can breed your female blood parrot to a number of cichlids such as: Red devils; convicts; flowerhorns;etc. You can not breed a hybrid and get a pure species (like a red devil) from it. Blood parrots will always produce some type of hybrid even if you got two fertile blood parrots the offspring would be bloodparrot( a hybrid fish)
That's correct... Males 99,99% sterile, females almost always fertile. My male BP "spawned" with my female saddle cichlid (Aequidens aff. tetramerus) some times, but the eggs never hatched.

I crossed a female blood parrot with a Pink Convict.. The fry looked like normal convicts with an awkward body shape..

Do you mean a body shape like THIS:
That was my female "jellybean" parrot (BP x pink convict)... Until my RTC x TSN catfish just ate her. The weird part of the story is that there were a smaller and uglier male in the tank and although he got AFTER the female, my catfish devoured HER.

Interesting. If the male blood parrots are sterile, so how do they re-produce and sold in the stores? There's gotta be some breeders out there. How it's done is a mystery to me.
What I hear is that the two parent species are still breed togeather to get the blood parrots. I also hear that the cross between the two parents produces three types of parrot the king kong parrot, the blood parrot, and mamon parrot not sure of the spelling on the last one.
So at the petstore I go too, the breeder that sends the BPs, it looks like they cross with a terquiose severum.. Or do most young BP start out dark?
